    RN Comprehensive Predictor 2026 Proctored Exam V2

    A nurse is making recommendations to a quality improvement committee to reduce medication errors. Which of the following recommendations should the nurse include?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Confirming medication calculations with a second nurse is an evidence-based practice that reduces calculation errors, particularly for high-alert medications. Medication labels should be checked at least three times (before, during, and after preparation). Illegible orders should be clarified with the prescribing provider, not another nurse. Documenting all medications at one time (charting ahead) is unsafe and a violation of medication administration standards.
